After Four Years In Blue And Gold At Heinz Field, First Game In Black And Gold Will ‘Be Special’ Kenny Pickett Says

For the last four years as quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh, Kenny Pickett has familiarized himself with the blue and gold surrounding him inside Heinz Field from the banner colors, to the jerseys and apparel worn in the stands by his fans.

Now, as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickett will have to make a slight adjustment with his color palette, changing to the black and gold of the Steelers, which will overtake Heinz Field each home game in Pickett’s Steelers’ career.
